Geography & terrain

Jhalawar lies in the Jhalawar district of Rajasthan, 180 km from Kota and 350 km from Jaipur — the garden town of the region's south, its palaces, the temples and the old city set on the plateau's edge near the Malwa border.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 19th-century founding by the Jhalawar state's rulers — the town built as the new capital of the region, with the Garh palace and the Government Museum's collection of the region's art; the town's history of the princely state's patronage and the nearby Chandrabhaga temple cluster of the 10th century, with the town's name of the city of the lakes, gives Jhalawar its palace-temple character.
